Audio to video AI free: magic or technology?

If you have ever edited a video, you know very well what a labor-intensive process it is. Selection of frames, editing, setting up effects and music, etc. It takes up precious hours of our time. But what if I tell you that there are free AI audio-to-video converters? Imagine how many opportunities open up! You found a cool song, and you imagine in your head what a video would look like for it. Of course, you can make a video sequence yourself, but let’s trust AI today and check what it can do. After all, they invented software for recording sound from video , so why not add a pinch of AI and a little magic? At the end of the article, we will draw a conclusion together who won: AI or humans?

VEED.IO is our first contender for the best AI converter.

What’s interesting about it:

1. It’s free.
2. Mp3 audio is converted to mp4 video with a background of any color (whichever you choose). You can also select and upload any image.
3. Video editor is available.
4. You can add automatic subtitles.
5. I liked the sound waves that move in time with the music.

What didn’t I like about VEED.IO?

1. An annoying watermark that can only be removed with a premium subscription of $9 per month. In the free version, we’ll have to put up with it.
2. 4K video export is only available with a subscription of $24 per month.
3. This is a simple AI converter. Artificial Intelligence does not give you a video sequence based on the lyrics of a song. It simply allows you to convert MP3 audio to MP4 video with a solid background. Yes, you can choose any image and let your imagination run wild, but AI will not create a video for you. Here you do it yourself. However, this may be a plus for VEED.IO.

So, clear and to the point.

1. Go to the VEED.IO website. The website interface will open in front of you. Click on “Convert audio”.

2. Upload the audio you want to convert to video. You can choose it from your phone or computer memory.

3. Just a black background is boring. Add a cool picture to the background that you would like. To do this, click on “Background”, then “Image,” and upload it again from your phone or PC memory.

4. Done! Our background is not so dull now. By the way, you can set the format for the video. For example, make it square or in the form of YouTube shorts. To do this, you can click on the icon next to “Background” and select the appropriate format. I chose “Square”.

5. Now to decorate our video, we can add animation. Go to “Elements” on the bottom panel.

6. I chose “Sound Waves” because I think it has a vibe. You can choose any animation or gif.

7. The cool thing is that you can change the color of the sound wave, set effects such as shadow, and control the size and position of the screen.

8. You can add subtitles. Find “Subtitles” on the bottom panel.

9. Choose the subtitle language. Mine is English. Click on “Auto-subtitle in English”.

10. Wait until the subtitles are generated. This will take about 10 seconds. By the way, the color of the subtitles, their size, and font style can also be changed. The resulting video will look like this:

11. I’m done editing the video, so I click Done. Unfortunately, you can only choose standard quality (as I wrote earlier, higher resolutions are only available with a premium subscription). Wait for rendering.

12. Now your video is ready! To download it, you should register on this site. I think there is no need to explain it here because the procedure is quite simple. Here is such an application. I hope the guide was as accessible and understandable as possible. By the way, VEED.IO has a fairly easy interface: you will not get confused.

We meet another candidate for the best free AI converters Audio to Video. This is Visla. To be honest, this program is just a godsend for lazy and busy people 🙂 Unlike VEED.IO, Visla not only converts audio to video but also uses Artificial Intelligence to select a video sequence for you that matches the theme of your audio.

Features of Visla:

1. There is a free version with many different functions. By the way, it is not much different from the paid versions. The only thing is that it can save videos in 1080p resolution, not 4K.
2. To understand the Visla interface, you need to spend very little time: all sorts of tips constantly guide you and do not mislead you.
3. The most important thing: with this program, you can create a video. Artificial Intelligence will help you with this, and it will select a video sequence from the stock library for your music.
4. You can help the AI generate frames by writing keywords and phrases in a special field. For example, your song is about unrequited love. Most likely, the AI will create a video sequence with crying women and sad men. However, you will make the video even better if you write the phrases “sad couple in love, autumn trees, gray sky with clouds” in a special field. You can also set the rhythm for the video.
5. High processing speed.

Disadvantages of Visla: 

1. I tried to edit a video, and here’s what I didn’t like. The music breaks a little between frames, creating a feeling of an unfinished project.
2. The videos that Artificial Intelligence selects from the stock are not very original. Sometimes there are looped frames. Sometimes the videos are too long.
3. Watermarks can only be removed with a premium subscription.
4. In the free version, you cannot save the original video. VISLA replaces his footage with footage from free stock. This is the biggest disadvantage of the program.

1. Create your account. This can be done using a Google account.

2. Your workspace with future projects will open in front of you. As you can see, I already have videos that I have been working on. Click on “Create Video”.

3. Now we choose what we will create. We are interested in creating a video using audio. Click on “Voice and Video”.

4. Click “Upload” to upload the audio you want to turn into video.

5. Audio loading has started. You need to wait while the program processes our music.

6. While my audio is loading, I write in the description what shots I would like to see in the future project. Since my song is militant and is connected with the power of human will, I select the following key phrases:

7. Waiting for loading…
8. Wow! The video turned out cool. And even the frame appeared exactly as I wrote in the description. You can give free rein to your imagination and write a whole story, and Artificial Intelligence will help you create a real clip. The only thing that gets in the way is the watermark. And I would like the quality to be better. However, for the free version, this is forgivable.

9. Now you are ready to export the video if you do not want to edit it further.

10. And here I was in for a “surprise”. It turns out that to save the video that I got, I need to upgrade to premium! And if I want to download it for free, the program selects other frames from the free stock for me. I clicked on “Regenerate with Free Stock” and my trailer changed. Yes, there were frames from battles, but frames were added that were 3 seconds long and repeated 15 times in a row!!! But you can trim extra frames in a video editor, so it’s not critical. Yes, let the premium not be that expensive ($9 per month), but it’s a shame. You can cheat, download a screen recording program record the video sequence that we got the first time, and add music in the video editor.

Having experimented with free AI programs for converting audio to video, I came to this conclusion. If you want to make a perfect trailer, do it yourself. AI is cool and innovative, but only you can create a true masterpiece exactly the way you want. Free versions of AI are quite limited in functions and sometimes the result can be disappointing (like me with Visla). I conclude: humans won!
